I am selling my personal alebrije collection. I purchased my pieces in Oaxaca, Mexico in 2003 - many were purchased from the artists at their home studios. Alebrijes are vividly colored animals are usually carved from one piece of Copal wood that only grows in Mexico and then painstakingly painted with great detail using acrylic paints.
